The Flash #220

The cover of this March 1973 issue delivers an immediately gripping image: the scarlet-clad Flash and yellow-suited Kid Flash locked in a fierce physical struggle, each claiming the other is "muscling in" on his own body — a mystery that promises something genuinely strange at the heart of "The Slowest Man on Earth." Dick Giordano's clean, dynamic linework gives the hero-vs-hero clash real impact, with both speedsters rendered mid-grapple in vivid contrast. As a bonus, Green Lantern gets his own solo backup story, "Duel for a Death-List!" — making this a particularly generous package from Cary Bates, Irv Novick, and Joe Giella.
